The Crown Aldbourne

We had a Valentines special evening, the service was excellent as soon as we walked through the door, the food was beautifully presented and was so tasty. The table was set up tastefully, just enough for a special meal not ott. Would recommend trying the restaurant if you haven't, you won't be disappointed.

We visited the crown to celebrate my daughter’s 1st birthday. So a family get together with 6 adults and a baby. We were seated in the restaurant with plenty of space and drinks to the table promptly. We then ordered our food, to which 4 of us enjoyed the roast beef, 1 had a chicken burger and 1 had fish and chips. Which both said were great. The roast was delicious; plenty of beef, which melted in the mouth and was all edible no fatty bits, lovely Yorkshire, and a perfect amount of veg. Not too fancy! Just really really tasty. Followed by sticky toffee which was looooovely. Our waitresses was fab and compliments to the chef, Overall a lovely experience - especially with small children. Highly recommend Gutted I didn’t think to take a photo!!!

“Nice Pub, Unpleasant Accommodation” We stayed at the pub for one night. From the outside, it’s a traditional and pleasant-looking place, and the atmosphere in the bar was very enjoyable. The food and drink were good , and we had a lovely evening in that regard. Unfortunately, the accommodation left a lot to be desired. As we were shown to our room, the carpets on the landing and hallway were filthy, and the décor was tatty and worn. While the room itself was as clean as it could be, it was shabby and desperately in need of renovation. The so-called “king-size bed” was a king-size mattress awkwardly placed on a double divan base. Breakfast the next morning was another disappointment. We had to call into the kitchen to get someone’s attention, and when the coffee arrived, it was cold. The food was edible, but that’s about the best I can say for it. I would recommend this pub for its food and drinks, as the bar and dining experience was nice. However, the accommodation is substandard and certainly not worth the stay.

If you’re looking for somewhere with nice, clean rooms a good breakfast and a really cosy pub atmosphere, you have won’t be disappointed.

We had an early family Christmas lunch and the food, drink and service were excellent. Our waitress was very helpful and made sure we got everything we needed. Thank you to everyone at The Crown for making our lunch so fantastic. I would recommend this pub to anyone.

A beautiful and comfortable place. Staff are hardworking and very friendly. Surroundings are also beautiful and steeped in very interesting history. Local facilities are also superb and just on the doorstep. A very enjoyable stay, which I would highly recommend to others.
